Read the quick Q&A below to learn how your team can win the Leadtime Leader Awards competition for 2024:
- How do you win? The shops we’ve honored have gone that extra mile, completing the main entry form fully and with detail, plus a step beyond that. They have included PowerPoint presentations, photographs, employee input and videos with the form. They have also expressed very clearly their passion for their work and a desire to WIN!
- How are shops assessed? The metrics used include performance in lead time and deliveries, current and projected sales growth, investment in technology, innovation in business strategy, manufacturing efficiency, commitment to workforce training and development, industry involvement, customer satisfaction and presentation and completeness of information (answers, videos, photos, customer references) in the questionnaire.
- Do you have to divulge financial information? The most we ask for is
- How is the information submitted? Initially online, but the detailed information is most often submitted via email to Editorial Director Christina Fuges.
- Who are the judges? Judges are carefully selected from a list of companies that could be your customers. They include representatives from mid- to large-size OEMs and molding companies within the automotive, medical, packaging, consumer goods, and appliances and electronics industries. Judges may also include industry consultants in plastics and workforce development. We will never ask another mold manufacturer to judge entries. All judging is conducted with anonymity.
- How long does the process take? The time depends on the amount of effort put forth by the entrant company and the depth of details provided.
